Updating about My Lanreotide Injections & CT Scan

After 8 months of lanreotide my latest CT scan shows growth in my tumors, so my NET doctor discontinued it. I am to start an oral chemo,
Temozolomide, next week for 5 days on & 3 weeks off. If you have had experience with it, please share.

Prayers that the chemo will be more effective.
Sorry you haven’t had luck with the lanreotide injections. My husband was diagnosed as a high grade two net with an 8.8 cm mass on the pancreas and inumerable spots on the liver. His Oncologist at U Of M immediately put him on monthly injections and CAP/TEM Two weeks on and two weeks off. After one year of this oral chemo he had a 40% reduction of his cancer. Since then he has had two Y 90 Treatments, one to each half of his liver after the necessary mapping procedure. We are waiting the three months necessary for results of these treatments but his cancer is stable for now. Good luck to you. Hope this helps.
After a year on Octreotide 2 of my 16 Tumors showed some growth, ( No New Tumors)the Dr. moved my next MRI up a month and we will discuss what the next step will be..
Never lose Hope.
